The ball is accelerating

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, the slope of the graph represents the speed of the object represented.

Let's therefore calculate the slope (so, the speed of the ball) in the two intervals given.

In the first second, we have:

$\Delta y = 40 - 20 = 20 m\\\Delta x = 1 s$

So the average speed is

$v_1 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{20}{1}=20 m/s$

In the next second, we have:

$\Delta y = 80 - 40 = 40 m\\\Delta x = 1 s$

So the average speed is

$v_2 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{40}{1}=40 m/s$

We notice that the speed of the ball has increased from 20 m/s in the first second to 40 m/s in the next second: this means that the speed of the ball is increasing, and therefore, the ball is accelerating.

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?

leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water ---> 1</span>

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m (ANSWER)</span>

uranmaximum [27]

<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

Displacement = Velocity x Time

6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.
